Add as preferred source on Google

Everton are one of four Premier League sides battling to sign Demarai Gray, with 90min reporting that Tottenham Hotspur are also tracking the Leicester City winger.

Gray’s future appears to lie away from the King Power Stadium. As reported by 90min, the 24-year-old is out of contract with the Foxes at the end of the season.

It is suggested that he could leave in January. And there are a number of admirers, with 90min claiming that Everton, Spurs, Southampton and Crystal Palace all want Gray.

It is noted that Gray also has options abroad. And of course, those clubs will be able to discuss a pre-contract deal with the wide-man once January arrives.

TBR View: Low cost move for Gray could be inspired

On paper, it not necessarily the most exciting move for the likes of Everton or Spurs to pursue Gray.

He has not played in the Premier League this season. And he is yet to really establish himself as a key man at any stage since his move to Leicester.

But Gray – who earns £55,000-a-week, according to Spotrac – is clearly a talented option out wide. And he is still young enough to get even better in the coming years.

Given his contract situation, he could presumably be available for a low fee. So it is not difficult to see why a number of top flight clubs are considering a move.
